I think Marv overstayed his welcome after 8 years. JMHO
I don't think a lot of people realize how long 16 years is, in the NFL.
Most of the coaches who spent that long with one team are legendary. Due to his longevity, Marv holds some ugly records, like longest tenure without a playoff win. Heck, I'm pretty sure he's the longest tenured coach to not reach a Super Bowl.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
